· Perpetuate and encourage a high standard of skill in the handling and navigation of yachts, power and sail;
· Encourage and promote the study of the science and art of navigation, seamanship and small boat handling;
· Stimulate members to increase their knowledge of and skill in yachting, through instruction, self education and participation in marine sports activities and competition.
SSPS is serious about safe boating and provides opportunities for members to learn from one another through self education.
SSPS also promotes boat safety through civic service in the form of a public boating safety course that is taught 2-3 times per year. SSPS members staff a booth at local boat shows to promote awareness of safe boating. SSPS also performs cooperative charting in order to help the government maintain accurate records.
As a fraternal boating club, SSPS holds a monthly membership meeting, including social time.
SSPS publishes a monthly newsletter, the Lubber Line, which conveys information about SSPS news, accomplishments and upcoming events.
SSPS members are also serious about socializing and many participate in Gulf Intracoastal waterway, lake and river cruises each year, a progressive dinner, chili supper, Christmas party and pig roast. |
